The diners were using the phrase 'winning by surprise' to the extreme. They were afraid that they would do something wrong, causing them to miss out on a spot that they could have originally drawn. If that happened, they would definitely want to hang themselves. There was once a sincere love in front of me … Cough, I mean, I've crossed the line.
All in all, the customers not only had the place to drink liquor, eat vegetarian banquet, roast lamb and now, there was even the place to eat hotpot. They had to depend on their moral standing, which was much more common when they needed to accumulate moral standing.
In the restaurant, the degree of snatching the dishes among the acquaintances became smaller and they began to pay attention to politeness.
Yuan Zhou didn't care about these things. His main job was to cook well, study culinary skills and strive to become a Master Chef as soon as possible. As for eating, it naturally depended on each person's capability. If he didn't even take an active part in eating, he wouldn't even need a bicycle.
The customers at Taoxi Road started to get restless one day in advance. Some people at the other side also started to get anxious.
"Do you think I look more professional when I wear this one or this one is more suitable?" Tian Penghao was quite hesitant while holding an ochre Tang suit in one hand and an indigo Tang suit in the other.
His white and plump face was full of hesitation. His face that didn't have many wrinkles originally had many wrinkles because of that, which was in line with Tian Penghao's current age.
"You have changed your clothes five times. Any one of them looks good." Yan Junchang tried his best not to roll his eyes, but his tone wasn't very good.
The main reason was that Tian Penghao had taken two clothes each time. Except for the slight difference in style, there wasn't much difference. Even the color was the same. Yan Junchang, who didn't pay much attention to dressing, really couldn't tell which one looked better.
The key was that Tian Penghao was still immersed in it tirelessly. He didn't have the knowledge of a 60-year-old man at all. He was even more particular than a young man.
Of course, it was also related to Tian Penghao's own profession. He was one of the most famous fashion designers in China. Don't be fooled by his white and plump body, which made him look like the Maitreya Buddha and seemed to be easy to talk to. However, that was because his sensitive points hadn't been touched. Otherwise, he would instantly become a fire-breathing dragon.
Like now.
"How many times have I told you? Every piece of clothing has its own unique aura. But as for what occasion it is suitable for, it is up to the person to differentiate it. If you are being so perfunctory, the clothes will also be perfunctory with you. If it wasn't because you are going to visit Head Chef Yuan, would I be so serious about this? Proper clothing is the basic form of respect for others. Don't you understand that?" Tian Penghao started mocking.
Obviously, Yan Junchang was already very used to Tian Penghao's attitude. Not only was he not affected at all, he even pointed at the ochre one with a very natural attitude and said, "I think this one is very good. We are going to eat hotpot, and this one just happens to match the color. It's red."
After thinking for a while, she seemed to feel that what Tian Penghao just said was reasonable, so she said, "Help me pick something to wear tomorrow. It should be more formal."
"That's right. As the chairman of the association, you should be more presentable. If you don't know how to tidy yourself up every day, what a waste of your time in this world." A satisfied smile finally appeared on Tian Penghao's face.
Yan Junchang was the chairman of the China Hotpot Alliance and a very successful businessman. Currently, the most famous hotpot group in China, Qinfang Hotpot Alliance, was his business. Almost everyone who wanted to eat hotpot would first think of Qinfang for hotpot.
Unfortunately, that was before Yuan Zhou launched the Hotpot Day. Ever since Yuan Zhou launched the Hotpot Day, Qinfang's dominance was broken.
Many people had never eaten the hotpot made by Yuan Zhou before. However, Yuan Zhou was very famous and had never failed before. Thus, their expectations were high, and the hotpot was also very popular on the internet.
In itself, the name Yuan Zhou represented a certain degree of traffic. Coupled with the fact that everyone loved hotpot, there were naturally more people paying attention to it.
When Yan Junchang received the news, it was already the second day of the Hotpot Day. Naturally, he didn't have the chance to feel the charm of the hotpot made by Yuan Zhou.
However, the rules and regulations of Yuan Zhou's new hotpot had been figured out. Therefore, this time Yan Junchang planned to go to Chengdu to stay the day before the hotpot was about to arrive.
He booked a flight ticket in the evening, so Tian Penghao had time to slowly choose clothes according to his own habits. It was not only for prudence, but also for his own purpose.
As for how he, as the most famous fashion designer, mingled with Yan Junchang, who started the hotpot business, was another story. Don't ask, even if you asked, you would know that they grew up in the same village.
With regards to Tian Penghao's teasing, Yan Junchang obviously didn't take it to heart. He didn't even need his assistant to help him tidy up the clothes. Instead, he personally picked out the clothes and put them into a box, waiting to be sent away.
Actually, as a businessman, Yan Junchang didn't dress badly. He was dressed in a well-ironed suit. Although he was old, his back was still straight and he looked like a successful person. However, Tian Penghao was a loyal supporter of tradition. The clothes he designed had a strong Chinese flavor and were influenced by thousands of years of culture. The clothes he made were extremely popular, especially among the younger generation. Of course, the older generation also appreciated his clothes.
Although Tian Penghao was already 61 years old, he was still active in the forefront of fashion. He was very popular with everyone, regardless of age.
Every time he saw Yan Junchang dressed in a suit, Tian Penghao would feel extremely uncomfortable. If he didn't say something, he would be letting down the deep friendship between the two of them.
"I heard that we need to line up to eat at Head Chef Yuan's restaurant. Should we go there earlier?" Tian Penghao suddenly asked after tidying up the clothes.
He usually didn't line up to eat, so he didn't have much experience. Although there was a lot of news about Yuan Zhou on the internet, he felt that seeing was believing. He didn't believe all the news.
Comparatively speaking, Tian Penghao felt that his old friend, Yan Junchang, should know more.
Tian Penghao didn't let him down. This wasn't the first time Yan Junchang went to The Kitchen God. However, he was there for an inspection. He didn't meet with Yuan Zhou or eat at the restaurant. He was purely there for an inspection.
"There are a lot of people. If we want to stand out, we need to get there early," Yan Junchang said seriously.
"Just getting there early won't be enough. What we want to eat is hotpot. I heard that we need a spot to eat there," Tian Penghao said.
He had also seen a post on the internet. It was a summary of the dishes that one had to rely on luck to eat in The Kitchen God. Hotpot was one of them.
"Don't worry. I have already arranged it," Yan Junchang said confidently.
He knew that his old friend was very reliable. Since he said there was no problem, Tian Penghao felt relieved. He tidied up a small box with carved flowers.
It wasn't very big, about the size of an ordinary milk carton. However, Tian Penghao treasured it very much. He would rub it every once in a while. Clearly, he valued it a lot.
